Flights to Pontyclun, Cardiff from NT$55,804

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Pontyclun could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before your flight can make your trip to Pontyclun a piece of cake. We've compiled some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
